If you are in a group you should still get kill credit for kills that your group is doing. Basically if your group got the loot from the kill (medallions etc), you get credit for the kill.

No, it goes to group that DPS did most dmg (got loot from killblow) not to ALL other groups that did participate in dmg contest (even if their DPS did literally 1 dmg).

Big nerf to solo players on kill credits. May want to look at reducing death penalty costs. As that was usually the trade-off.
Can you explain the renown for level difference a bit better?

So if you are playing as a tank or healer in an organised warband that is not full, and believe me they are usually not full since they look for certain level/class/gear etc. And happen to be in the empty party as a healer or tank even tho you heal other warband parties and use challange etc. You wont get kill credits ? This doesnt sound good at all.
Ediy: By “group” dou you guys mean entire warband or just the party you are in ?

What's the big nerf here? The warcamp quests won't be able to be turned in every time you stop by now?

If you are in a group you should still get kill credit for kills that your group is doing. Basically if your group got the loot from the kill (medallions etc), you get credit for the kill.
Ok example:
I am in a group and waiting for my members. Then I see a realm mate in need and I heal him, means that i dont receive anyhting? Good, then i can stay AFK and watching realm members die.
Also, when only group counts then wb cross-healing isnt worth the effort, I mean I heal my competitors, why should I do that?
And what is with solo players? If they have a 1v1 and has already done 45% dmg, then 5 realm mates adding and doing 55% of the dmg, ends up in nothing for the solo player?

Not sure why this change but guess it will discourage blobbing and following organized warbands
